Essential Information About This Method

Designed for advanced-level alto recorder players (treble recorder), with technical exercises aimed at steady and structured progression.
Exercises directly inspired by the original alto recorder literature, focusing on fundamental playing skills: fingerings, articulation, intonation, and timbre consistency.
Several chapters can also be practiced on the soprano recorder (descant) using transposed fingerings.
A "technical" approach oriented towards musicality: the goal remains artistic expression, emotion, and sound interpretation.

Summary of This Method

Finger and Tongue Technique is intended for players who wish to strengthen their mastery of the alto recorder through a demanding repertoire of exercises, perfectly suited for daily practice. The book offers a progression emphasizing playing stability and precision, while maintaining a musical purpose: each technical element is designed to serve the phrase, color, and intention.

The content covers a wide range of skills essential at an advanced level. It notably includes chapters dedicated to trill movements, articulation, and rapid fingering transitions, as well as in-depth work on scales, triads, and chromaticism. Chromatic sequences, scales in thirds, and virtuosity exercises in all keys help consolidate sight-reading, finger memory, and ease across the entire range.

The method also details specific articulation techniques, including the soft double tongue "di-ge" and the "did'll" tongue, particularly useful for gaining clarity in fast passages and rhythmic regularity. Work on broken chords, trills, and finger vibrato (flattement) completes the approach, developing a richer palette of attacks and ornamentations to serve an expressive and nuanced sound.
